As we are sure you can understand, with nearly 800,000 subscribers on YouTube alone, we get a lot of requests for visitors on our homestead. While we would love to accommodate everyone, for the safety and privacy of our family, we do not have visitors to the homestead until we develop a relationship with them.

We do! We are happy to say that our son-in-law Gavin is a licensed realtor in Missouri. Gavin has lived in the Ava area his entire life and is very familiar with the area and with farming/homesteading. He would be happy to show you properties in and around the Ava area. You can reach Gavin at (417) 250-1103 or by email at Gavin@forsaleava.com

The big tubs are called CrystaLyx tubs. They initially contain minerals for cattle. Most cattle farmers throw them away after they are empty. We have a lot of cattle farmers around here so for us they are easy to find. The plastic is a food grade plastic that does not contain BPAs and we feel safe growing food in them.

From time to time we will have American Bresse chicks, pullets, cockerels, and fertile eggs for sale listed here on our website. We update inventory and pickup dates as they are available, because we only have a small amount available each year, we do not keep a waiting list. When we are sold out, there will be an option to enter your email to receive a notification when they are "back in stock". All Chicks and Hatching Eggs will be sold on a first come basis. Visit our Homestead Shop We started our flock of American Bresse by purchasing chicks from North Star Farms. They have provided us with great quality birds. We do recommend North Star Farms https://e5c135.myshopify.com

We no longer breed Idaho Pasture Pigs. We do think the breed is perfect for homesteaders and will continue to raise them as feeders for our family. If you are interested in purchasing IPP pigs as breeders or feeder pigs, we recommend contacting IPP breeders listed on the Idaho Pastured Pig Registry https://idahopasturepigregistry.com/registered-breeders/ or members of the Idaho Pasture Pig Breed Association https://www.idahopasturepig.org/members-1
